A typical Hong Kong comedy about young inexperienced cops that get into a lot of silly antics. The film is notable for featuring Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Anita Mui in early roles.

Following a raid led by a deadly Manchu enforcer, rebels Hong Si Kuan, Fong Sai Yuk and Hu Huei Chian seek refuge at the Shaolin Temple. However, the strict rules of the temple don’t suit rascals Fong and Hu, and their mischievous antics lead to scuffles with the young monk Wu Qing. Things get worse when Fong frees a mad monk from his hidden cell, and Hui falls for a pretty local lass. Meanwhile, the fierce Manchu rebel-hunter is still lurking nearby, determined to find his prey whatever the cost!
